I have today tried to apply the VSI-X86VMS-CXX-A1000-230901-1.ZIP, but
now it is saying it needs to uninstall the VSI X86VMS VMS921X_UPDATE
V1.0 before it can install the compiler!

* The operation you are performing will invalidate all saved recovery
data sets.
* Recovery data sets represent restore points that have a limited
lifespan.  Any
* operation that modifies the product database, except for installation
of other
* patches where recovery data is also saved, makes existing data sets
outdated.
 
* If you continue, recovery data for the patches listed above will be
deleted.
* The deletion of recovery data does not affect the installation status
of
* patches applied to products that are not participating in this
operation.
* However, continuing with this operation will prevent you from
uninstalling
* these patches at a future time by use of the PRODUCT UNDO PATCH
command.
 
Do you want to continue? [NO] NO
